THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The first of April, some do say,
Is set apart for All Fools' Day.
But why the people call it so,
Nor I, nor they themselves do know.
But on this day are people sent
On purpose for pure merriment.
Poor Robin's Almanac, 1790
The thing that fools us most about April is the weather. One day we feel like Spring is here and the next we feel like we’re back to wintertime.
I’m pretty sure that today is supposed to be one of those nice spring type days. Here lately I’m almost afraid to say so. April is going to be a busy month at my house. There’ll be lots of birthdays to celebrate, all be it that most of them will be long distance ones. I’ve some preparation to do for Easter, which is on the 20th of the month. And I have some things to get ready for our family celebration which is on the 12th of the month. Busy busy for sure.
I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday!
PRAYER REQUESTS
DDIL#6 wrote requesting prayers saying: I have a couple of prayer requests for you that just came up if you don't mind. My cousin is being taken in for an emergency c-section today. All I know is something is wrong with the baby's heart. She is about a month early.
A friend is going in for an unplanned c-section Wednesday morning after a new problem with her baby has come up , following a bunch of others that have been going on. The poor baby is only about 4-5 pounds. :(
And another friend of ours we just found out has a tumor of some sort that they are not sure of, but do not like the looks of.
I know it's a lot, but we just found them all out in the past few days. Please ask for any prayers available for them all. For their health and the babies'. Thank you!
Please join me in praying for these dear ones. May the dear Lord bless them all!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
No Winter lasts forever, no Spring skips its turn. April is a promise that May is bound to keep, and we know it.
Hal Borland
I have counted at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for a little over a year and have now reached 1500 gifts. On my way to 2000. I'm not stopping, but will continue on counting. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
1538. for April, a month of promise and hope
1539. for a great visit with DS#4 and his family
1540. for another day to celebrate life
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU !
The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day.
When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You're one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
a cloud come over the sunlit arch,
And wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you're two months back in the middle of March.
Robert Frost
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,
ma
